Patented Aug. 6, 1918.

Application filed March 24, 1916. Serial No. 86,472.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. MuLLoY, a citizen of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Gas- Stoves, of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to improvements'in gas heating attachments to cooking stoves, and relates more particularly to a device for readily converting a coal stove into a gas stove.

The object of my invention is to construct a simple, economically operated, and cheaply constructed device which may be readily placed in a coal or wood cooking stove, which will permit the use of gas in lieu of the fuel for which the cooking stove was originally designed, such as coal or wood, and a further object of my invention is to construct an improved gas stove.

With the above objects in view, my invention consists in certain details of construction and arrangement of parts which will be clearly, fully, and concisely, set forth in my specification, pointed out in my claim and illustrated by the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification in which Figure 1 is a plan of a stove having an embodiment of my invention therein;

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of a coal or wood stove, partly in section, showing my gas attachment, and

Fig. 3 is a detail elevation, partly in section, showing a liquid fuel container with a pump for creating air pressure in the container.

Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings, 5 designates the top of a cooking stove which is preferably constructed of a number of removable plates 6 in which are formed the openings 7 arranged to receive the removable grids as is common, and which are not shown.

Beneath, and vertically spaced from the plates 6, is the top 8 of the stove body proper. At intervals throughout the length and resting upon the said top 8 are the brackets 9 for the support of the gas pipes 10, to which are secured in a common manner the burners 11.

By preference the pipes and burners are arranged in such manner as to place one of the burners in registration with the opening 7 and by preference all of said pipes extend outwardly through the one end wall of the stove proper at which point each pipe is coupled with a mixer 12 and a valve 13, the said valves all being connected with a manifold 14, which manifold in turn is connected by a-pipe 15 with a container 16 for liquid fuel.

By preference this container 16 is provided with a hand operated air pump 17 for the supply of pressure in order that the liquid fuel be forced through the pipes and to the burners.

In Fig. 2 the stove 18 is supplied with a fire pot 19 for wood or coal as a fuel, and is further provided with an ordinary stove top having the grid openings for the reception of the ordinary grids, and has connected therewith for use independent of the coal or wood fuel an attachment comprising the burners and pipes as just described.

It will beobvious from this showing that I have contemplated the construction of the stove employing gas as a fuel and that this attachment that is the burners and pipes, may be fitted into a stove designed for use with coal or wood.

The gas burners, pipes etc. maybe applied to and removed from the stove by removing the sectional stove cover. The sectional stove cover is supported by means ef an inwardly turned flange formed around the top of the stove. See Fig. 2 for illustration.

When the stove is used as a gas stove, the door of the fire pot 19 remains closed, the same as if wood or coal were being burned as fuel.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters-Patent of the United States,

each pipe, and a series of parallel brackets positioned beneath the gas pipes 'for supporting the .gas pipes and burners in lplace.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my 10 name to this specification.
